The Reddington Hospital Group has announced the establishment of the Bodycare Plastic Surgery Clinic in Lagos.

The new centre which is located at 276a Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, is the result of a collaboration between the Reddington Hospital Group and Abuja Plastics, a renowned plastic surgery centre in Nigeria.

Speaking during a media briefing at the Reddington Hospital Group headquarters in Lagos where the announcement was made, Emmanuel Matthews, CEO of the group, said the establishment of the centre was in response to the yearnings of the public for a professional, affordable and high quality plastic surgery clinic in Nigeria to reduce medical tourism.

Also speaking, Stanley Okoro, medical director of the plastic surgery clinic and founder of Abuja Plastics, said the cutting-edge medical technology and qualified staff currently at Reddington Hospital, provide a perfect synergy between Reddington and Abuja Plastics to make the Bodycare Plastic Surgery Clinic a plastic surgery destination for Africa and the world.

According to Okoro, because of the new clinic, there will no longer be need to travel overseas for excellent cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery.

The director is supported by a team of plastic surgeons and specialist doctors, one of which is Jennifer Cameron, an experienced plastic surgeon from Minnesota, USA.

The centre has already accepted its first patient who travelled from the UK for the procedure.

The Bodycare team will also provide plastic surgical services for patients of cleft palate and burns injuries.
